This Web Site Availability Service Level Agreement (SLA) applies to
you ("customer") if you have ordered any of the following hosting
account services (the "Services") from Icologi Pty Ltd ("Icologi") and your
account is current (i.e., not past due) with Icologi: Shared Web Hosting
Plans (Virtual Server) or Virtual Private Servers. As used herein, the
term "Web Site Availability" means the percentage of a particular month
(based on 24-hour days for the number of days in the subject month)
that the content of customer's Web site is available for access by
third parties via HTTP, as measured by Icologi.
a. Goal:
Icologi's goal is to achieve 100% Web Site Availability for all customers.
b. Remedy:
Subject to Sections 3 and 4 below, if the Web Site Availability of
customer's Web site is less than 99% in any month, Icologi will issue a
credit to customer in accordance with the following schedule, with the
credit being calculated on the basis of the monthly service charge for
the affected Services:

Customer shall not receive any credits under this SLA in connection with any failure or deficiency of Web Site Availability caused by or associated with:
a. circumstances
beyond Icologi's reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts
of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, armed conflict,
embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption
of or delay in transportation, unavailability of or interruption or

party software (including, without limitation, ecommerce software,

obtain supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of
this SLA;
b. attacks by viruses or hackers, including Distributed Denial of Service (dDoS) attacks against Icologi network(s).

d. scheduled maintenance and system upgrades, or emergency maintenance;
e. DNS issues outside the direct control of Icologi;
f. issues with FTP, POP, IMAP, or SMTP customer access;
g. false SLA breaches reported as a result of outages or errors of any Icologi measurement system;
h. customer's
acts or omissions (or acts or omissions of others engaged or authorized
by customer), including, without limitation, custom scripting or coding
(e.g., CGI, Perl, HTML, etc), any negligence, willful misconduct, or
use of the Services in breach of Icologi's Terms and Conditions and
Acceptable Use Policy;
i. e-mail or web mail delivery and transmission;
j. DNS (Domain Name Server) Propagation.
k. outages
elsewhere on the Internet that hinder access to your account. Icologi is
not responsible for browser or DNS caching that may make your site
appear inaccessible when others can still access it. Icologi will
guarantee only those areas considered under the control of Icologi: Icologi
server links to the Internet, Icologi's routers, and Icologi's servers.
In order to receive a credit, customer must make a request for
credit by email or fax to Icologi. Each request in connection with this
SLA must include customer's account number (per Icologi's invoice) and
the dates and times of the unavailability of customer's Web site and
must be received by Icologi within ten (10) business days after
customer's Web Site was not available. If the unavailability is
confirmed by Icologi, credits will be applied within two billing cycles
after Icologi's receipt of customer's credit request.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the total amount credited to customer in a particular month under this SLA
shall not exceed the total hosting fee paid by customer for such month
for the affected Services. Credits are exclusive of any applicable
taxes charged to customer or collected by Icologi and are customer's sole
and exclusive remedy with respect to any failure or deficiency in the
Web Site Availability of customer's Web site.
